***A diplomat and brilliant linguist, Count Coudenhove-Kalergi was named Deputy Minister of Austria-Hungary to Japan. He often visited a curios shop owned by a samurai family. One fateful day, his horse slipped on ice and he fell. Mitsuko Aoyama, the owner’s teenage daughter, ran to his aid and made a lasting impression on the 32-year-old bachelor. First the Count convinced Mitsuko’s father to let her work as a parlor maid at his legation and then he asked for her hand in marriage. He flatly refused, but the couple defied him and married anyway in 1892. As a result, 18-year-old Mitsuko was disinherited and forever banned from her father’s house. She gave birth to two of their sons in Tokyo. In 1897, the family decided to move to Vienna, where she stayed until her death in 1941. All of her children were well-educated and spoke multiple languages; her second son, Richard Nikolaus, became the founder of the ‘PanEuropa’ movement after WWI. The Japanese-Austrian Countess inspired Jacques Guerlain to create a perfume called ‘Mitsouko’. £150-£200

With the mass spectrogram you see immediately that H2 has to be present. [...] Recently we had Francis Perrin to visit. Very interesting.

Terms and Conditions for Buyers at Chiswick Auctions

1. BEFORE THE SALE 1.1 Agent for the seller Unless otherwise agreed, Chiswick Auctions Ltd, hereafter referred to as CA LTD acts as agent for the seller. The contract for sale of the property is therefore made between the Seller and the Buyer.

1.2 Definitions For the purposes of the current Terms and Conditions, the Seller shall be defined as the owner of the Goods. It is implied that the Seller is the legitimate owner and is authorised to sell the Lot. The Bidder is any registered person participating in the auction, and the Buyer is the successful Bidder for a particular Lot. The Lot means the item(s) put up for sale by CA Ltd and to which the present Terms and Conditions apply.

1.3 Catalogue descriptions Any representation in any catalogue or otherwise as to the origin, date, age, attribution, genuineness or estimated selling price of any lot is a statement of opinion only. Such statements do not constitute a representation warranty or assumption of liability by CA Ltd in relation to the Lot. Any prospective Buyer should satisfy themselves prior to the sale as to the reliability of the catalogue description.

The absence of mention related to prior restorations in the Catalogue descriptions does not imply that the good is exempt thereof.

Photographs of any Lot provided by CA Ltd are for indicative purposes only and are not deemed to be a precise representation of the said Lot. The Buyer is advised to seek independent expert advice in order to be assured of the authenticity and true state of the good.

1.4 Inspection Prior to auction, prospective purchasers are strongly advised to personally examine personally any property in which they are interested to satisfy themselves in relation to matters which may concern them.

1.5 Condition report CA Ltd may issue a Condition Report on request prior to the sale.

This Condition Report is for identification purposes only and cannot be considered as giving a precise account of the Lot’s true state. Thus, some imperfections and faults may not be accounted for in the Condition Report.

1.8 Reserves Many Lots are offered subject to a reserve, which is the confidential minimum sale price. The reserve will never exceed the low estimate printed in the catalogue. CA Ltd may open the bidding on any Lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller, and may in their discretion continue to bid up to the reserve price. This can be achieved by bidding in response to other bidders or alternatively by placing consecutive bids.

Under EU Regulations related to the trade of cultural goods, export licences may be required for export outside of the European Union if the item’s value exceeds the EU threshold. Under UK Law, a licence may also be required for intra-EU trade.

Licenses are issued by Arts Council England and it is the Buyer’s duty to obtain them. Some countries restrict the import of specific cultural goods.

For example, the United States prohibit all import of African elephant ivory, and any item containing parts that may merely resemble African elephant ivory must be accompanied by relevant documentation stating it is not the latter.

Worked items that are dated before 1947 are exempt from import restrictions for intra-EU trade and shall not require export licences.

Please be aware that all Lots marked with the symbol λ are subject to CITES regulations.
